Landgeist, known for making the announced data statistical, shared a striking map that also concerns Turkey. The institution compiled the data of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in 2018 and announced the meat consumption in Europe. The statements made show that the situation is not good for Turkey. Unfortunately, we are one of the countries with the lowest meat consumption in Europe.
Statistics based on the data of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization reveal that Spain is the country with the highest meat consumption in Europe. According to studies, Spaniards consume 99 kilograms of meat per person per year. This country is followed by Portugal with 95 kilograms of meat consumption and Iceland with 91 kilograms of meat consumption.
Here is Europe’s annual meat consumption map
The data shared by Landgeist reveals that the least meat consumption in Europe is 39 kilograms per year. There are 4 countries in the continent where meat consumption is at a minimum level. These countries are Turkey, Macedonia, Moldova and Albania. Just above these four countries, including us, is Bosnia and Herzegovina, where 43 kilograms of meat is consumed annually.
It should be said that the data announced is not surprising, at least for Turkey. Food prices in our country have been on a serious upward trend for a while. Of course, meat, which is among the most basic nutrients, is also affected by this situation. . .
By the way; Landgeist recently compared the amount of meat consumption in Asian countries. If you are wondering how our situation is among Asian countries, you can take a look at our content here.
